3 factors into getting Dynamic Roolover

A
  • Pivot Point
  • Rolling moment
  • Thrust greater than weight
25
Q

LTE

A

1) Main rotor disk interference– Down wash from main rotor goes into tail rotor
2) Weathercock– wind from the rear causes the aircraft attempts to weather-vane
3) Tail rotor vortex ring state – winds from this direction cause tail rotor to go into its own downwash

26
Q

How do you get to VEMD info screen?

A

scroll + reset when you turn on power

27
Q

Engine Starting Sequence

A
  1. N1 > 10% - Fuel is introduced through starting solenoid valve
  2. N1>25% - Starter solenoid is de-energized and bleed air is put through to prevent carbonation.
  3. N1 > 45% - Starting relay is completely de-energized
  4. N1 = 62% - Computer changes from starting law to governing low to handle control of the engine.

The FADEC will try a second attempt to start the engine if first one failed.

39
Q

Transverse flow effect

A
  • when the helicopter transitions into froward flight (between 10 and 20 kts) you have clean air going over the forward part of the disk and dirty air going over the rear.
  • This causes a shutter and a roll in the direction of turning blade due to gyroscopic precision as well as a yaw due to tail rotor becoming more effective.

46
Q

Types of Fog

A

RAPSU I

  • Radiation
  • Advection fog (sea fog)
  • Precipitation
  • Steam
  • Upslope
  • Ice fog
47
Q

What is “Radiation fog

A

The ground cools the adjacent air to the dew point on calm, and usually clear sky nights. If the fog is very shallow (less than 20 feet deep), it is called ground fog.

48
Q

What is “Advection fog

A

The result of a transport of warm humid/moist air over a cold surface. Unlike Radiation Fog, it may occur with winds, cloudy skies, over a wide geographic area, and at any time. It deepens as wind speed increases up to about 15 knots; greater wind lifts the fog into a layer of low stratus or stratocumulus.

49
Q

Where is Advection Fog most likely to form?

A

It is most common along coastal areas but often develops deep on continental areas.

50
Q

What is “Precipitation-induced fog”?

A

When relatively warm rain or drizzle falls through cool air, evaporation from the precipitation saturates the cool air and forms fog. This fog can become quite dense and continue for an extended period of time. It can also extend over large areas, completely suspending air operations. It is most commonly associated with warm fronts, but can occur with slow-moving cold fronts and with stationary fronts.

51
Q

What is “Steam fog”?

A

Occurs when evaporation takes place into cold air lying over warmer water. It is usually quite shallow. Named for the fact that it looks like steam rising from the water–is also known as sea smoke, Arctic sea smoke, or evaporation fog. It occurs during the cooler months of the year, when the air is much colder than the water below it.

52
Q

What is “Upslope fog”?

A

The result of moist, stable air being cooled adiabatically as it moves up sloping terrain. Once the upslope wind ceases, the fog dissipates. Can form under cloudy skies.

53
Q

What is “Ice fog”?

A

This occurs in cold weather when the temperature is much below freezing and water vapor sublimates directly as ice crystals. Conditions favorable for its formation are the same as for radiation fog except for cold temperature, usually -32°C or colder.
